  1. T W 1. ConcepTest 5.1Tetherball 1) toward the top of the pole 2) toward the ground 3) along the horizontal component of the tension force 4) along the vertical component of the tension force 5) tangential to the circle In the game of tetherball, the struck ball whirls around a pole. In what direction does the net force on the ball point?

  2. 2. ConcepTest 5.2aAround the Curve I (1) you are thrown to the right (2) you feel no particular change (3) you are thrown to the left (4) you are thrown to the ceiling (5) you are thrown to the floor You are a passenger in a car, not wearing a seat belt. The car makes a sharp left turn. From your perspective in the car, what do you feel is happening to you?

  3. 3. ConcepTest 5.2bAround the Curve II (1) centrifugal force is pushing you into the door (2) the door is exerting a leftward force on you (3) both of the above (4) neither of the above During that sharp left turn, you found yourself hitting the passenger door. What is the correct description of what is actually happening?

  4. (1) car’s engine is not strong enough to keep the car from being pushed out (2) friction between tires and road is not strong enough to keep car in a circle (3) car is too heavy to make the turn (4) a deer caused you to skid (5) none of the above 4. ConcepTest 5.2cAround the Curve III You drive your dad’s car too fast around a curve and the car starts to skid. What is the correct description of this situation?

  5. 4 5 1 3 2 5. ConcepTest 5.3Missing Link A ping pong ball is shot into a circular tube that is lying flat (horizontal) on a tabletop. When the ping pong ball leaves the track, which path will it follow?

  6. 1 2 6. ConcepTest 5.4Ball and String 1) T2 = 1/4 T1 2) T2 = 1/2 T1 3) T2 = T1 4) T2 = 2 T1 5) T2 = 4 T1 Two equal-mass rocks tied to strings are whirled in horizontal circles. The radius of circle 2 is twice that of circle 1. If the period of motion is the same for both rocks, what is the tension in cord 2 compared to cord 1?

  7. 3 5 2 1 4 7. ConcepTest 5.5Barrel of Fun A rider in a “barrel of fun” finds herself stuck with her back to the wall. Which diagram correctly shows the forces acting on her?

  8. 8. ConcepTest 5.6aGoing in Circles I 1) N remains equal to mg 2) N is smaller than mg 3) N is larger than mg 4) None of the above You’re on a Ferris wheel moving in a vertical circle. When the Ferris wheel is at rest, the normal force N exerted by your seat is equal to your weight mg. How does N change at the top of the Ferris wheel when you are in motion?

  9. top v R 9. ConcepTest 5.7cGoing in Circles III 1) T – mg 2) T + N – mg 3) T + mg 4) T 5) mg You swing a ball at the end of string in a vertical circle. Since the ball is in circular motion there has to be a centripetal force. At the top of the ball’s path, what is the centripetal force equal to?

  10. 10. ConcepTest 5.8aEarth and Moon I 1) the Earth pulls harder on the Moon 2) the Moon pulls harder on the Earth 3) they pull on each other equally 4) there is no force between the Earth and the Moon 5) it depends upon where the Moon is in its orbit at that time Which is stronger, Earth’s pull on the Moon, or the Moon’s pull on Earth?

  11. 11. ConcepTest 5.8bEarth and Moon II 1) one quarter 2) one half 3) the same 4) two times 5) four times If the distance to the Moon were doubled, then the force of attraction between Earth and the Moon would be:

  12. 12. ConcepTest 5.9Fly Me Away You weigh yourself on a scale inside an airplane that is flying with constant speed at an altitude of 20,000 feet. How does your measured weight in the airplane compare with your weight as measured on the surface of the Earth? 1) greater than 2) less than 3) same

  13. 13. ConcepTest 5.10Two Satellites 1) 1/8 2) 1/4 3) 1/2 4) it’s the same 5) 2 Two satellites A and B of the same mass are going around Earth in concentric orbits. The distance of satellite B from Earth’s center is twice that of satellite A. What is the ratio of the gravitational force acting on B compared to that acting on A?

  14. 14. ConcepTest 5.11Averting Disaster 1) it’s in Earth’s gravitational field 2) the net force on it is zero 3) it is beyond the main pull of Earth’s gravity 4) it’s being pulled by the Sun as well as by Earth 5) none of the above The Moon does not crash into Earth because:

  15. 15. ConcepTest 5.12In the Space Shuttle 1) They are so far from Earth that Earth’s gravity doesn’t act any more. 2) Gravity’s force pulling them inward is cancelled by the centripetal force pushing them outward. 3) While gravity is trying to pull them inward, they are trying to continue on a straight-line path. 4) Their weight is reduced in space so the force of gravity is much weaker. Astronauts in the space shuttle float because:

  16. 16. ConcepTest 5.13Guess My Weight If you weigh yourself at the equator of Earth, would you get a bigger, smaller, or similar value than if you weigh yourself at one of the poles? 1) bigger value 2) smaller value 3) same value

  17. 2d 2m 5 Earth 4 d 3 2 1 m 17. ConcepTest 5.14Force Vectors A planet of mass m is a distance d from Earth. Another planet of mass 2m is a distance 2d from Earth. Which force vector best represents the direction of the total gravitation force on Earth?
